Probably Taeniaptera, but I have doubt because I do not see R5 and M meeting before wingtip as they do in the common North American species. |

Taeniaptera trivittata is probably not found south of the United States. In the tropics it is replaced by Taeniaptera lasciva. See comments here: http://bugguide.n...iew/473962. |

Thank you, John, for your information. In the book "The Natural History and Diversity of Diptera" of Stephen A. Marshall, I read, that Taeniaptera trivittata is the only species of this, mostly Neotropical, genus to range north to Canada. So perhaps, T. lasciva was not yet descript. Thanks a lot André |

He meant there are many species in the tropics, and only one in Canada. T. trivittata has a common distribution for insects. It is found in most of the United States east of the Great Plains, and also in southern Ontario. This region is ecologically uniform, consisting originally of broadleaf and mixed forests. |
